About this 1989 Mazda RX-7

VIN: JM1FC3517K0708947

Details

This 1989 Mazda RX-7 convertible has just 86,392 miles and is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.3L twin-rotor fuel-injected engine that sends power through a five-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. The exterior is painted blue and complimented by a black convertible top and a blue leather interior. This unmodified example of the famous rotary-powered car features rack and pinion steering, power disc brakes, multi-link rear suspension, anti-sway bars, and a hydraulically actuated clutch. The interior is equipped with power windows and locks, and AC. This Mazda comes with a clean Carfax and has spent time in Ohio and Georgia. It is currently located in Hampton, Georgia.

The low mileage of the vehicle is showcased in the third-party photos and inspection. The paint has minor scratches consistent with mileage, and the interior shows a little wear on the carpet and driver seat, as revealed in the inspection. Overall the car is a fine example of the second-generation RX-7, and the condition of the interior and exterior make the car seem much younger than it is. The inspection reports that the vehicle is in good operating condition. Included in the sale are two sets of keys, a workshop manual, and receipts for service done to the vehicle.

This RX-7 is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Hampton, Georgia.

About the model

The Naturally-Aspirated Mazda RX-7 Convertible debuted for the 1986 model year and was part of the 2nd Gen Mazda RX-7 family. These open-top sports cars were powered by a 1.3L twin-rotor rotary engine with an output of 146hp. This power drove the rear wheels through two transmission options, a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. Production of the 2nd Gen Naturally-Aspirated RX-7 Convertible lasted until 1992 when Mazda introduced the 3rd Generation RX-7.
